    Maybe a locknut would have sufficed?

    Does that mean you tried it? I've never seen a nyloc nut back out if anything.

    I think the way the L-Bracket was bolted to the Prinsu cross bar with washers as spacers allowed for a small amount of play which contributed to the LOCK NUT and LOCK WASHER backing off over time. It didn't start doing it every 50 miles until threads got busted up.
    This bracket does not move period.

    That is crazy. I hope you're new bracket works.

    The ones on there now arent, just lock washers. The ones that came off were.

    There are nylocs on the back side of the grade 8 mounting hardware however that you can't see.

    Yup, used some Turtle Wax Scratch & Swirl Remover, then polished & waxed (again as I just had it done a couple of weeks ago).

    Installed a homelink rear view mirror that was purchased from Bob and it is amazing. It is by far better than the stock flip mirror you get from Toyota.

    Did you make that shelf holding the fridge yourself? Just got my Tacoma 2 weeks ago and have been thinking about doing similar come spring.

    Did my first mod though today, added weather tech window deflectors, very minor but definitely needed.
